There are short articles, a few photos, and at least one physical layout drawing for every mall inducted.

"Malls are dead" detractors say online shopping will eventually do in "brick & mortar" retail. However, a few pertinent facts are being overlooked. First, buying certain things online (such as dvds, music or electronics) can work out ok.
